And lo! his steede did thin to smoke, 
And charnel fires outbreathe; 
And pal’d, and bleach’d, then vanish’d quite 
The mayde from undernethe.

And hollow howlings hung in aire, 
And shrekes from vaults arose.

Pens, paper, ink, and pounce consuming.

With nothing for my cash to shew, 
But Precedents so scrawl’d and blurr’d, 
I scarce could read one single word, 
Nor in my bocks of Common Place
